Real-World Knowledge

​

In the spring of 2021, six students from a Dutch university asked researchers and the textile industry:

​

• What data do you need?

• How do you want to access it?

​

They received a lot of good and thought-provoking responses, and it became clear there is a whole lot more we can do increase industry knowledge and help future professionals learn about circular textiles.

​

​
